      Expect constant change and no delivery on goals

      Product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good salary, good annual bonus, access to great benefits.

      Cons

      Constantly shifting priorities, senior leadership's heads turned by shiny new toys every 6 months, causing chaos for people trying to deliver software. This isn't in relation to the changing landscape of accounting, it's just bad planning and lack of foresight. No product leadership - Chief Product Officer appears once a year and then vanishes until the next financial year kicks off. I have no idea what his views are on anything, have no sense of his strategy for the organisation and makes no attempt to foster any sense of cohesion as a product function. As people begin to return to the office, facilities are starting to feel the strain. Impossible to get a seat at lunch if you turn up at 12:01, I've seen people eating lunch stood with food propped on a windowsill and others eating in the "break out" call pods meant for having private Teams calls. Many colleagues feeling the same sense of disconnection, misery and isolation. Sage is currently promoting "high performance mentality" but making no fundamental changes to the core problems that are causing low performance.

      Failing leadership

      Inside sales
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some of my colleagues & health cover.

      Cons

      Company direction is taking a nose-dive & dragging culture to an all time low as all executives care about is profit nowadays. The good people are leaving & now the best exec we had has left the business - the last person we had to look up to. Enter mediocrity & a senior leadership team that cares nothing for the people or the culture. The HR team don’t care & help sweep reports of misconduct by SLT under the carpet & engrain the failing culture. Product don’t listen to customers or sales & they churn out features that don’t work or lacks innovation. I’ve done OK at Sage, so I hold no grudges, but know I need to leave as the company & the product are running towards a hard fail & zero faith left in current exec team to turn this around. Very disappointing.

      Chronic mismanagement and low employee morale

      Operations
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Company has modern progressive policies * On-call is not that stressful, more routine

      Cons

      Where to start at Intacct, it depends on what team you are on and manager, overall the company uses a fairly ancient legacy system and has been attempting to modernize it to follow a microservice model. The Devops culture present is not "great", employees get blamed for minor mishaps and there aren't enough processes for post-mortems and misalignment between operations and development teams. Communication is very limited -- colleagues share little information when it impacts your work and this makes teamwork challenging. Condescending, micromanagement style is outdated from the 90s like a copy-cat of Oracle bureaucratic systems. Colleagues I knew had low morale or quit from incompetent leadership and lack of trust between ICs and mgmt. . Even different teams would fight and the one with the loudest voice would win -- toxicity would spread like wildfire from contagious interactions.
